About this Research Topic
The aim of the “Mindful Eating and Mindfulness-based Practices for Healthier Eating” Research Topic is to bring together findings from mindfulness-based and mindful eating programmes, interventions or specific practices that may impact eating regulation, appetite, emotional regulation, food cravings, weight, and other health-related measures within the field of eating. Further research and perspectives on the variability in mindfulness-based and mindful eating programs can provide valuable insights for the field. This Research Topic will also invite the sharing of methodologically strong attempts that did not yield positive outcomes to support the future development of more effective practices.
This is a general call for submissions on the broad range of outcomes that derive from mindfulness-based and/or mindful eating practices. The findings when observing mindfulness-based and mindful eating programmes, interventions or specific practices have been generally positive across a range of approaches. Considering the variability in length, differences in delivery and methodology, and the differences between mindfulness-based and mindful eating programmes, further research, as well as theoretical and practical perspectives in this area, can provide positive value for the field. Also, this Research Topic encourages researchers to share their attempts that did not yield comparable outcomes to promote accurate and effective practices. The collection will consider the following types of contributions:
• Research articles with quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods designs.
• Comparisons between well-known practices and interventions.
• Clinical case studies (if they disclose potentially very significant phenomena) or well-conducted but unsuccessful research trials.
• General commentary, opinion, and theoretical articles.
